OK.. Had a look for that road, it doesn't seem to exist - googled about and got this snippet

"The area around Church Road, which connected Brent Street with Church End, was also covered with houses after Hendon station was opened in 1868. Fuller Street was built before 1874 (fn. 88) and nearby terraces, including Heading Street and Prince of Wales Road, were built at about that time."

Went back to the map and found it.. So its roughly around that area.

If you go to Google Map www.maps.google.co.uk and type in Fuller Street, Hendon then hit search - Click on Search Nearby.. Type in Church and click Search, it should tell you the possible churches.

Carla..

Just had a thought.. Do you have their death certs? If so.. Are all the addresses the same? Cos one of the address might be a clue as to whereabout of their burial.

Hi T,it wouldn't be so bad but we can't find her brother (my Grandad),their Father's parents,'cause G.Grandad appears & disappears-ooooooh it's frustrating!!!

Dont give up though.. Keep on checking of any churches in the area. It took me about 6 months to finally locate my Aunt's father's burial place (she and my mum had different father). He died in Southall in 1954 - Ended up buried in Greenford!

Just dont give up :)

Hi T,they lived at 8,Headings Road,Hendon.To date I know they're not at Golders Green Crem.Mum always said about going to a cemetry with Big Angels-so when I saw the 'photos of Hendon I got serious goosebumps.
Do you have any ideas where else they could be?Thanks C. :)

Are they definately in Hendon Cemetery? Hendon Registration do cover a large area of the district.

Managed to contact the cemetry & none of them are there.Thank-you to everyone who helped.


If anyone happened to feel like having a stroll around here & could look for some missing relatives for me I'd be very grateful:-
Edith Lillian Roach died 1963
Ernest William Roach (husband) died 1942
Denis Frederick Raymond Hopper (son from first marriage) died 1945.
Any information would be much appreciated-thank you.
